It’s the 40th anniversary for Bumbershoot, and it seems that organizers aimed to bring in a diverse lineup to suit the music festival’s generation span.

“Bumbershoot has a strong history of showcasing emerging talent alongside veteran superstars. This year for our 40th Festival, we’re excited to have artists that span more than four decades of phenomenal music,” said Chris Porter, a programming director for One Reel in a news release. “With this roster of talent, we’re truly offering a music lineup that will engage and entertain people of all ages and interests.”

Also, as covered before, this year’s festival is taking a different approach by offering a tiered ticket system. Fans who aren’t interested in seeing the mainstage headliners can opt not to for a cheaper price, while those that are interested won’t have to wait in a seemingly endless line that doesn’t guarantee entry.

Tickets go on sale today at Bumbershoot’s website, $40 in advance for the full ticket, $22 for the economy ticket that does not include the mainstage. The festival runs Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-6.

Looking at the full lineup, it seems that there is inevitably a lot of layover with this past weekend’s Sasquatch! over at the Gorge Amphitheatre. Though Bumbershoot brings in some bigger Top 40 artists for headliners, it definitely hits a more Northwest musical note with the rest of the lineup.
